34: Hot sales
So, someone immediately asked, "Boss, how much is this Sakura Lionhead Goldfish? I want one."
"This one's cheap, 800 is fine."
"Ah? That cheap? It's about the same price as artificially bred ones outside, only about a hundred more. You're a conscientious Boss! I want this one, come on, give me your QR code!" The person said excitedly.
Chen Xiangbei placed the two types of QR codes he had prepared earlier in front of the fish tank for others to scan.
"Boss, how much is this common Butterfly Koi?"
"This one is only 300, you can take it after scanning the code and paying," Chen Xiangbei said with a smile.
Everyone inquired about and bought the fish. In a short while, over thirty were sold. They were of excellent quality and affordable price; buying them was a bargain. Some even bought two or three at once.
"Boss, how much is this Ink Black Butterfly Carp?" At this moment, a second-hand dealer asked.
"This one is more expensive, it's 8000 yuan. If you like it, you can take it. This is a non-negotiable price."
"That expensive! Outside they only sell for around 3000 yuan, why are you selling it so expensively?" The second-hand dealer said.
Chen Xiangbei saw through his trick.
He wanted to lower the price to buy them and then sell them at a high price, after all, Ornamental Fish from Baiyun Lake never lacked customers.
So he said firmly, "It's okay, if it's expensive, you don't have to buy it, just appreciate it. I don't lack buyers."
"Exactly, exactly, you second-hand dealers don't come here to pollute. Go find a sense of presence in your breeding sheds, don't come here to disgust people," a Da Ye wearing a vest and carrying a satchel said indignantly.
"Little Boss, I want this Ink Black Butterfly Carp. Here, I'll give you cash." Saying this, he took out a wad of cash from his satchel, pulled out 20 one-hundred-yuan bills, and handed the rest to him.
Chen Xiangbei took the cash, didn't count it, and just pocketed it after seeing that the thickness was about right.
"Da Ye is generous, this fish is yours. See if there are any others you like, I'll give you a discount."
"Okay, I'll take another good look."
...
After more than half an hour, Chen Xiangbei had only the last two fish left in front of him.
Because the price was relatively expensive, many people hesitated for a long time and didn't make a move.
These were two rare varieties of Lionhead Goldfish, one was a Jade Face Red Robe Lionhead Goldfish, and the other was a Faceless Man Lionhead Goldfish.
Chen Xiangbei didn't plan to wait any longer either.
He took out his phone, took a few photos, and sent them to Zhao Hu and Chen Wen. Then he started packing up, preparing to go back.
Before he could even finish packing, Chen Wen's video call came in. He answered the call, and an anxious voice came from the other end of the video.
"Brother Chen, you caught good stuff again? Quick, let me see!"
Chen Xiangbei smiled, then adjusted the camera to the rear camera, pointed it at the two fish in the fish tank, and said.
"Just caught them, these two top-notch ones are left, the others have all been sold."
"What? You caught more than two, and they've all been sold? What a waste! You said you'd find me if you had good stuff," Chen Wen said heartbrokenly.
"Alas, the ones that were sold were all ordinary, nothing good. Do you want these two? 12000 each. If you want them, I'll save them for you."
"Want, want, want, of course I want them. You must save them for me. Where are you? I'll come find you."
"How about I come find you? Send me your location, I'm just about to go back anyway," Chen Xiangbei said.
"Okay, I'll send you the location now, just come over. I'll wait for you at the entrance," Chen Wen replied.
Chen Xiangbei hung up the phone, and Chen Wen's location was sent over. He checked the destination, and it was quite convenient.
He packed up his things and put the two fish back into the fish crate to keep them alive.
He drove his pickup truck down the mountain.
An hour later, he drove to the residential area of the location and found it was a cluster of villas. No wonder these two people quoted prices without batting an eye.
He drove to the entrance of the residential area, where Chen Wen and Zhao Hu were already waiting. Seeing his car, they immediately waved to signal.
He pulled up next to the two of them, parked, and turned off the engine.
He got out of the car, took out the glass fish tank from the back, put the two fish in separately, and then handed the fish tank to the two of them.
"Here, specially saved for the two of you. You're regular customers, I'm selling them to you cheaply, 12000 each."
"Brother is generous, I'll transfer the money to you."
The two of them each transferred 12000 yuan to him.
"Okay, received. Thank you very much for your business. I should go fishing for another day tomorrow. If I catch good stuff, I'll definitely give it to you."
"That's great. Why don't you come in and sit down for a cup of tea, and while you're at it, take a look at the fish I've collected?" Zhao Hu said.
"Not today, I haven't eaten yet. I've been out all day, I'm all smelly. I'll go back first."
"Okay then, I'll invite you over another day for tea and fish viewing. You can't refuse then!" Chen Wen said.
"It's a deal, goodbye to you both!"
Saying that, he waved, got in the car, and drove away.
Chen Wen and Zhao Hu were very excited at this time. They had received two or three good fish in one day, which greatly satisfied their hearts.
Chen Xiangbei sped all the way towards home.
At 9 PM, Chen Xiangbei returned to Galaxy International. After parking the car, he walked out from the main gate of the residential area.
He came to a Chaoshan beef hot pot restaurant. He was going to eat beef hot pot today.
He originally wanted to go back and take a shower before coming out, but when he thought about eating hot pot later, he gave up.
Taking a shower and then eating hot pot is like not taking a shower.
He was starving today. He ordered a medicinal broth base, five portions of beef from different parts, one portion of beef tendon, one portion of beef brisket, one portion of beef tendon balls, and some vegetables.
He first asked the waiter to bring a pot of sour plum juice, and gulped it down in large mouthfuls. The coolness instantly burst out from his body.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Chen Xiangbei opened his phone to reply to the messages he hadn't answered today and saw that Chen Wen had added him to a group.
Looking at the group name, it should be a group of professional Ornamental Fish players. Chen Wen sent him a message saying.
Chen Wen: If you catch rare fish in the future, you can post them in the group. The people in there are not short of money and you can sell them for a good price.
Gu Bei: Okay, thanks. Next time I have good stuff, I'll show you first.
After replying to the message, he scrolled through the pictures in the group.
He found many Ornamental Fish he had never seen or known the names of. They had various shapes and colors and were very beautiful.
Everyone was sharing their catches in the group.
He also learned about some top-quality types of Ornamental Fish, but unfortunately, most of them were artificially bred, which was not good.
As long as he could catch a fish, he was confident he could catch it, what a pity.
Soon the dishes were served, a table full of food, enough to satisfy his hungry stomach.
The beef only needs to be blanched for 8 seconds before it can be eaten. Paired with the exclusive beef dipping sauce, you can pick up five slices of beef with one chopstick. When you eat a mouthful, the juice flows out, and the aroma is overflowing.
The tenderness of the beef, the chewiness of the beef tendon balls, the softness of the beef brisket, the freshness of the beef broth, and the relief from greasiness from the sour plum juice.
Such delicious food makes it hard not to be captivated, and he ate very satisfyingly.
At 10:30 PM, the first thing he did when he got home was to hang up the clothes from the washing machine, then put away the dried clothes, and finally put a basket of clothes to be washed into the washing machine.
